He is one of 24 players on the list for the World Championship team tryouts, which start on June 14 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Once the final 12-man roster is selected, the team will continue training camp and prepare for the FIBA U19 World Championship set for June 27-July 7 inPrague,Czech Republic.

“It’s an honor to go to the USA tryouts..,” Dunn said. “There’s a lot of great competition. It’s going to be a great experience.”
